1 Introduction: LISER Department UD
1.1 Purpose & Structure
This document provides additional analysis and visualizations regarding the Luxembourg Research Institute Evaluation 2022 of LISER Department UD. Its purpose is:
- To map the broader research community and distinct research field the department contributes to.
- Identify core knowledge bases, research areas gtrends and topics.
- Highlight the positioning of the department within this dynamics.
It is structured as follows:
- Topics: Further information regarding the departments research topics and their development
- Knowledge Bases: Further information regarding the departments knowledge bases and their development
- Research Areas: Further information regarding the departments research areas and their development
- KB-RA-TP interaction: Joint visualization of knowledge bases, research areas, and topics.
- Specialization: Departments research area and topic specialization compared to the broader research field.
- Collaboration: Co-Authorship networks to other research institutions.
- TEchnical description: Further guidance regarding concepts, methods, indicators, techniques, and workflows.

7 Missing Publications
The bibliometric part of the 2022 research evaluation is based on Scopus data, one of the most comprehensive providers of academic publications. However, some potentially relevant scholarly output is not covered. Reasons might be that the publication outlet is not Scopus indexed. While most academic journals are, the coverage of bookchapters and conference proceedings is less exhaustive. In rare cases, errors in the database can also lead to underreporting.
To get an exhaustive overview covering all scholarly output, find below a breakdown of publications not matched with Scopus, and therefore not included in the overal evaluation.
